Music, music, music. . . . .

So my buddy Rob gave me this idea and I finally think I am going to start reviewing newer albums on Tuesday's.
If you have any suggestions of something you would like me to review all suggestions will be taken into consideration.

So here we go. . . . .

Jimmy Eat World "Chase this Light"


The new album from rockers Jimmy Eat World is still a "rock" album with a little more pop to it. Now I can take a little bit of pop every now and then, and some may think that his album is to poppy for me. It is not, because it doesn't have that "over produced" aspect that many pop albums get. It still has a raw sound to it. And the guitar work is classic Jimmy, nice little parts thrown in on the verse's into an all out rock'n good time on chorus'. The extra little things thrown in throughout the ablum like bells, strings, and tiny little trinkets of sound makes this album musically for me.

Lead singer Jim Adkin's lyrics are still full of emotion and thought. Yet there are not too deep that you get lost in them. It feels like he finally wrote an album instead of just a collection of songs.

This album is not near as hard rock'n as "Futures" yet it still is a good listen anytime. It is a great album for any Jimmy Eat World fan yet has aspects in it that could appeal to any music lover.

Track picks- "Big Casino" "Gotta Be Somebody's Blues" "Dizzy"

See...it worked...I'm going to buy it. OK, not really, but it's still a good idea.
